Although fictional characters have long dominated the reception of literature, films, television programs, comics, and other media products, only recently have they begun to attract their due attention in literary and media theory. The book systematically surveys todays diverse and at times conflicting theoretical perspectives on fictional character, spanning research on topics such as the differences between fictional characters and real persons, the ontological status of characters, the strategies of their representation and characterization, the psychology of their reception, as well as their specific forms and constellations in – and across – different media, from the book to the internet.

Irony, humour and the comic play vital yet under-appreciated roles in Kierkegaard’s thought. Focusing upon the Concluding Unscientific Postscript, this book investigates these roles, relating irony and humour as forms of the comic to central Kierkegaardian themes. How does the comic function as a form of ‘indirect communication’? What roles can irony and humour play in the infamous Kierkegaardian ‘leap’? Do certain forms of wisdom depend upon possessing a sense of humour? And is such a sense of humour thus a genuine virtue?

Mozart’s comic operas are among the masterworks of Western civilization, and yet the musical environment in which Mozart and his librettist Lorenzo da Ponte wrote these now-popular operas has received little critical attention. In this richly detailed book, Mary Hunter offers a sweeping, synthetic view of opera buffa in the lively theatrical world of late-eighteenth-century Vienna. Opera buffa (Italian-language comic opera) persistently entertained audiences at a time when Joseph was striving for a German national theater. Hunter attributes opera buffa’s success to its ability to provide “sheer” pleasure and hence explores how the genre functioned as entertainment. She argues that opera buffa, like mainstream film today, projects a social world both recognizable and distinct from reality. It raises important issues while containing them in the “merely entertaining” frame of the occasion, as well as presenting them as a series of easily identifiable dramatic and musical conventions. Exploring nearly eighty comic operas, Hunter shows how the arias and ensembles convey a multifaceted picture of the repertory’s social values and habits. In a concluding chapter, she discusses Cos” fan tutte as a work profoundly concerned with the conventions of its repertory and with the larger idea of convention itself and reveals the ways Mozart and da Ponte pointedly converse with their immediate contemporaries.

Physicist Bruce Banner, caught in the nuclear explosion of his experimental gamma bomb is transformed into the rampaging green monster, the Hulk.   High school student Peter Parker, bitten by an irradiated spider, gains the powers of the spider and becomes Spiderman.   Reed Richards and his friends are caught in a belt of cosmic radiation while orbiting the Earth in a spacecraft and are transformed into the Fantastic Four. While Stan Lee suggests he clung to the hackneyed idea of radioactivity in creating Marvel’s stable of superheroes because of his limited imagination, radiation and the bomb are nonetheless the big bang that spawned the Marvel universe. The Marvel superhero comic that came to dominate the comic book industry for most of the last five decades was born under the mushroom cloud of potential nuclear war that was a cornerstone of the four-decade bipolar division of the world between the US and USSR. These stories were consciously set in this world and reflect the changing culture of Cold War (and post-Cold War) America .   Like other forms of popular entertainment, comic books tend to be very receptive to cultural trends, reflect them, comment on them, and sometimes inaugurate them.  . Secret Identity Crisis follows the trajectory of the breakdown of the Cold War consensus after 1960 through the lens of superhero comic books.   The superhero comic books developed by Marvel, because of their conscious setting in the contemporary world, and because of attempts to maintain a continuous story line across and within books, constitute a system of signs that reflect, comment upon, and at times have interacted with the American political economy. This groundbreaking study focuses on a handful of titles and signs that specifically involve political economic codes, to reveal how the American self was transformed and/or reproduced during the late Cold War and after.

Post-70s Chinese entrepreneur, Jing Liu, simplifies China’s 5000-year history into a unique, easy-to-read comic book format – a must for anyone doing business in China, or seeking to understand how it is changing the world.

Scouring pre-liberation historical accounts, the author takes readers deep into the world of mythical ancestors, influence brokers, emperors and individuals whose ideas resonate among the Chinese elite today.

This book seeks to answer questions posed by old China hands and newcomers alike:

• Why do so many Chinese think that foreigners are in China for dubious reasons?
• Are Chinese people religious, and if not, why?
• Why do Chinese appear genetically wired to think there should be a single, unified China?
• How have the Chinese people and their culture evolved and changed (or not changed) over the millennia?
• What makes the Chinese ‘Chinese’?

The first of a three volume set, Understanding China through Comics Vol.1 begins with the Yellow Emperor and the birth of Chinese civilization and continues through the end of the Han Dynasty – which set the course for the culture, philosophies, and politics that still dominate China today.

New perspectives on Chinese history help explain complicated chains-of-events and uncover the driving forces behind the critical changes that shaped China. Research spans classic Chinese texts and contemporary historical works, including: Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian, the father of Chinese history; History of China by pre-liberation historian Wang Tongling and The General History of China by his contemporary Lü Simian; The Analects of Confucius; and historical information embedded in ancient Chinese paintings.

Understanding China through Comics includes three volumes:
Volume One: The Yellow Emperor through the Han Dynasty (2697 BC – 220 AD)
Volume Two: The Three Kingdoms through the Yuan Dynasty of Mongol Rule (220 – 1368)
Volume Three: The Ming Dynasty through the Qing Dynasty (1368 – 1911)

Cosi fan tutte is widely regarded as Mozart’s most enigmatic opera with Lorenzo Da Ponte’s most erudite text. Edmund Goehring presents a new perspective on the relationships between text and tone in the opera, the tension between comedy and philosophy as well as its representation in stage works, and the pastoral mode. Goehring’s argument is sustained by the detailed analysis of primary sources (many of which are little known), and is richly illustrated with musical examples.
